OPP warns drivers of hazardous condition Continued from page 1 staying off the roads. Though conditions had improved greatly by Monday, high winds and blowing snow were still a bit of problem. "These squalls flare up from time to time," said Marshall, wamign drivers to adjust their driv ing appropriately if caught in one. "If it means driving slower than the speed limit that's fine and only go as fast as you can see ahead of you." He adds that if travelling less than 50 km per hour, drivers should turn on their four-way flasher, which can be picked up better by people approaching from behind. Marshall also warned drivers to be aware when they find them selves in a whiteout that there is a tendency to vere left. "And' the only thing more dangerous than a white out is someone coming out of one with their lights off." Writer tells other side Continued from page 4 Perth Public District School Board. The Minister of Education, both by his actions and his comments, certainly devalues the contributions of trustees and local educational leaders and administrators. The 16 local trustees who have given excellent service to the Huron Public Education System are being unceremoniously dumped. The already-lean board office staff and senior administrators will now work under a cloud of insecurity. Parents will lose access to local and accountable answers to their education questions and concerns. On Nov. 10, 1997 we will vote for possibly four to six trustees for the Huron share of the Huron-Perth District School Board. These elected representatives will have "responsibility without authority." The governance of schools is gradually being turned over to a group of parent volunteers in advisory school councils. The Minister announced that these school councils will have strengthened advisory roles in program offerings, codes of discipline and reporting on pupil achievement. There is no indication the councils will have any money to support their decisions. The government promises a fairer and more equitable distribution of funds to support education. This promise does offer some hope to a Huron Public Education System which has been frugal and underfunded for years. The Huron board spends approximately $4,500 on educational spending per elementary student per year. Some boards spend twice this amount and it is significantly below the provincial average. The board, the teachers along with the board's other employee groups have negotiated in good faith to keep the quality of education high and affordable in Huron County. While OPSTF has for years advocated for a greater share of education costs to be funded provincially, we have never supported the elimination of local tax support, as such an approach undermines local autonomy and accountability. Rationalization and amalgamation with the Perth Board of Education to form the new Huron-Perth Public District School board will be a monumental challenge and will require hundreds of hours of deliberations. Board assets, liabilities, collective agreements with teachers and employee groups, board policy and procedures, school year calendars, school program offerings like junior kindergarten, etc. must be harmonized and rationalized. Not only do we not have all of the answers.. .we are still pondering the questions to ask! These questions and answers will affect every student, parent and taxpayer in Huron County. Paul Dyck, President, Huron District, Ontario Public School Teachers' Federation.
